Award-winning Nigerian singer, songwriter, and entertainer Teni has officially released her highly anticipated new EP, ‘The Wellness Package’.
Marking a significant chapter in her career, the project reflects deep personal growth, healing, and the discovery of joy in everyday life. More than just a collection of songs, The Wellness Package acts as an open invitation into Teni’s world, inspired by her experiences over the past few years and framing wellness not as perfection but as a lifestyle rooted in community, love, laughter, and daily self-care.
This release also signals an exciting strategic partnership as Teni joins forces with Gamma to broaden her creative vision on a global scale. Larry Jackson, founder and CEO of Gamma, praised the collaboration, noting Teni’s distinctive ability to connect profoundly with international audiences. Sipho Dlamini, President of Gamma Africa, emphasised that Teni continues to raise the bar for African music and culture. Meanwhile, Larry Gaaga, VP of Gamma Africa, highlighted that the project authentically reflects who Teni is today.
Musically, the EP combines Teni’s signature storytelling with an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Olamide, Chike, and The Cavemen. The tracklist features compelling tracks such as “Zion” with Olamide and “Wuru Maya” with Chike. Sharing insights into her artistic growth and the vibrant energy shaping her creative direction, Teni discusses her mindset for this new phase. “It’s just how I was feeling,” Teni says of her creative process. “It was a new year. I was feeling the energy. You can pause but never stop.”
Breaking away from traditional music releases, The Wellness Package extends beyond standard audio formats into a series of interactive fan experiences.
The campaign includes a cinematic teaser, the Wellness Package Run Club, designed to promote movement and community bonding, a special treasure hunt providing fans access to exclusive wellness boxes, and an immersive listening party crafted to feel like stepping straight into Teni’s personal living space.
The EP’s release significantly builds on the momentum generated by recent hits like “Zion,” which has surpassed twenty million streams, sparked over 500,000 user-generated TikTok videos, topped the charts on YouTube Nigeria, and secured top positions on Spotify and Apple Music.
Having previously performed at Coachella alongside DJ Spinall, Madison Square Garden with Davido, Montreal’s MURAL Festival, and London’s O2 Arena, Teni continues to establish her legacy as one of Africa’s most unique and vibrant voices. With The Wellness Package, she celebrates self-discovery, community, and the simple moments that define true well-being.
